the avenue to success is 'research' my friends.
Many farmers worked on the tractor under the shade tree. We found this true when we detected the house grounds that Charles Guiteau lived in when he was 5. (he killed Pres. Garfield) Many tractor parts but no coins. We did find a V nickel in the front yard where a museum picture showed a large tree once grew. TTCThat is one thing that is nice.....take my cheap harbor frieght shorty shovel and it will sink right into the earth. I just always picture the farmers from the 1800's, and I'm sure into the early 1900's on sulky plows.....
There are 4 of these in the woods not far from where I live. You can tell whoever sat on one would be leaning back. Could easily loose what was in the pockets. Especially getting on and off of them. Which I do think they had to do quite often. I'll give it an honest try, and post up any results!
